Pressure Is a Privilege: Lessons I've Learned from Life and the Battle of the Sexes

Loved this bio about Billie Jean King. I'm an avid tennis fan & club player, so information about those who were instrumental in forming the game is exciting for me to learn about. Billie Jean is more than a acclaimed tennis great. She is a role model treating others with fairness & teaching others that games are instruments for teaching us lessons about real life.

I'VE BEEN A BJK FAN FOR OVER 45 YEARS...I WATCHED HER GROW FROM A GIDDY TEENAGER INTO THE WONDERFUL WOMEN SHE IS NOW.. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HER 4 YEARS AGO...SHE IS WHAT SHE BELIEVES.. SHE GIVES HER FANS HER FULL ATTENTION AND SINCERELY ENJOYED MEETING US AND EVEN GAVE US FOREHAND LESSONS..RIGHT THEN AND THERE.. THIS BOOK IS JUST LIKE HAVING A PERSONAL CONVERSATION WITH HER.. IT'S ALSO A LOVING TRIBUTE TO HER PARENTS WHO INSTILLED IN HER SUCH WONDERFUL LIFE VALUES... IT'S A GREAT READ FOR ANYONE...IT TRULY PUTS LIFE INTO PERSPECTIVE.

I had the privilege of meeting Ms. King this summer. She is truly wonderful and an inspiration to everyone--women and men. This book contains a lot of good stories about Billie's career along with good, common-sense advice. It's a great read and would make a great gift.

you already know these items in your heart, Billie just says it in a way you understand. thanks for being the role model to so many of us. after reading this book, just "play it forward" and dream your dreams....
